The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $2 million in February but paid off only $100,000 of its gaping debt.

That left the committee, which will be required to disclose the details of its finances in a report to the Federal Election Commission later Friday, with $6.4 million in debt at the end of last month.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which has yet to disclose its February numbers, came into the month with an even larger debt: $16.3 million.

The committees have been heavily involved in a special election race for the upstate New York congressional seat vacated when Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand accepted appointment to the Senate seat formerly held by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The NRCC spent $1.32 million in February and finished the month with $1.85 million in the bank.
